I’m just hoping we make the plane
I’ve been a bit preoccupied lately getting everything in order for mine and Jeff’s trip to Asia IN LESS THAN A MONTH. We don’t have Jeff’s passport back yet (despite it being “in process” for the last two months) and we need two visas–one for China and one for Vietnam–and we need them now. […]

I want to play too!
So, I stole this from Tasha. It seemed like fun, and people so rarely turn book reading into a competition. Oh sure, we could say that this is just a list of books that have been read, but let’s face it, its a contest. A nerdy book lover’s contest.
Look at the list of books […]

I think I have Consumption
Does anyone else get the kind of sick that makes your tongue feel too big for your mouth? I mean, I’m not really sure what size my tongue is normally, so staring at it in mirror leads me to think, “sure, looks swollen” but without something to compare it to, I don’t have much […]

A Very Lazy Saturday
I slept until 12:36 pm today. I’m ashamed of myself. I mean, I do like to sleep. Its probably one of my least attractive characteristics, seeing as how I would sleep rather than do most other things. Sometimes people tell me that I’m sleeping my life away. I choose not to listen and sleep […]

The Fruits of Book Binding I
On Sunday, I attended and officially completed my Book Binding I course. We came out of the six week course with three books, two with blank text blocks, and one with a printed text block. Honestly, I’m not sad to not have my Sundays back. What this girl needs, clearly, is another day to […]

I’ll give you a tantrum
Unfortunately everyone that I mention this too seems to think that the result is bang on. I’m pretty sure my dad is going to be like, finally! I’ve been saying this for years! I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I might be the worst kind […]

Larsh’s, 1, Scotiabank Theatre, 0
I’ve been wanting to see 300 since, oh, my birth. I’m sure that I’ve mentionned Gates of Fire before, but, a quick mention. It’s one of my favourite books. It’s one of my family’s (seriously, mom, dad, jeff and me!) favourite books. I make everyone I know read it. And sometimes, I won’t talk […]

The Best Day Ever
Okay, in Belgium, I ate some decidedly odd things. I was living on my own, sharing a kitchen, and, for the vast majority of the time, was completely broke. Mike and I used to subsist on fifty cent aldi pasta and it was a special day when we bought “rise in the oven” bread. […]

I’m almost ready for a Monday
Why is it that a sunny day makes any day better? Mom wanted to go to the Rally for Kyoto at Nathan Phillips Square, and seeing how lovely it was, I decided to go with her. I think it might be one of those weird parent to child things that I don’t seem to […]

The Charley Horse
Let me set the scene. It was a few weeks ago, in Ottawa, and I was spending my second night on John’s rather comfortable couch. Tasha, on the floor beside me, was asleep on an air mattress. In a moment of half sleep, half wake, I stretch, and then, and there’s nothing I can […]
